console() modulatorValue

[boonier]

HI

I’m a bit new to Ctrlr and I’m trying to reverse engineer a panel – specifically the Osc 2 detune modulator on the M1000 panel – to see what values it is outputting.

I can’t quite see how to simply print this value to a console. Is it straightforward?

THanks

console(“modName value: “..panel:getModulatorByName(“modulatorName”):getValue())

console(“modName value: “..panel:getModulatorByName(“modulatorName”):getValue())

The other problem is I don’t know where to put this exactly! I want the value to go into the console when I change the modulator. Am I to create a new method for this?:

myNewMethod = function(--[[ CtrlrModulator --]] modulator, --[[ number --]] value)
end

The other thing is that I want to view the print the value after the “Expression to evaluate when calculating…” field is done

cheers

Yes, you need to create this method and place there the console code.
Also you can write it directly on the console, but it’s not updated each time the modulator change value.

Thanks, so is the method called from “Expression to evaluate when calculating…” field in the modulator options?

[dasfaker]

You should use method “called when the modulatorValue changes”. And I think this method is called after “Expression to evaluate…” operation is done.

Sorry I’m really not getting this! Is there a doc you can point me too, or could you attach a very simple 1 modulator example that shows how to connect the modulator to the method please?

thanks

[dasfaker]

Sure

That’s perfect thanks again.

One more thing:

lt (modulatorValue, 0, 97 + (31 + modulatorValue), modulatorValue)

This won’t work in the LUA editor will it? The value I get from

panel:getModulatorByName(“modulatorName”):getValue()

seems to be before any expressions are performed on it

Hi boonier,

that may be the case but you can do any calc in Lua, so you won’t need the calced value, do you?

You might be able to use this if you use a fixed slider or a fixed image slider and map all your values.

Controller7 = panel:getModulatorByName(“EnvAA3T”):getValueMapped()
